Fan-fiction is a wonderful thing.
Authors coming together to create, share, and discuss stories they've created based off of a common subject.
Commandeering an author's work, not so wonderful.
And it's even worse when the characters are actually alive.
Imagine if you will, what would happen to said characters if someone from our world, similar to an author but much more sinister, made their way into a world where the original author has died.
With the pseudo deity that had unknowingly been protecting them simply by maintaining control of their work gone, this intruder would be able to reshape the world as they see fit, setting brothers and daughters against each other, making parents abandon children, warping the very reality of the world to their will.
While an author creates sadness and pain, they also give joy and make it possible simply by breathing life into the characters. Such an intruder would not care about that, and would instead set about subjugating the world and making it their own personal playground.
This sounds like an extreme, but it is unfortunately not. To cross from this world into one of the many others in the multiverse, one first has to die to set their soul free. After that they must have a soul strong enough to remain aware as they are transferred to the reincarnation cycle and move to another world, and then break free of the cycle.
At that point the soul would be able to create a physical form for itself, usually how they looked in life, and begin to make small changes, assuming they knew enough about the world they fell into. When an author still lives and controls that world, even subconsciously, devastating changes such as new planets, cataclysmic events, and genocides cannot be performed unless said author planned for it.
If the author is dead, then the intruding soul becomes the new author and can do with the world as it sees fit. As the soul must be strong enough to remain aware when it reaches the world, it is usually one of two types. Light or dark.
Light souls are those that seek to protect, or to please, and would not hurt willingly. Dark souls are those that would control, and bend to their will. Unsurprisingly the two types tend to separate from each other, and while light souls tend to find each other, dark souls are solitary and territorial.
Within the light souls there is an organization dedicated to the protection of worlds, both with authors and without. Its name, is the paradox agency, and it is where our story begins.
Well there it is, the first chapter of my new story : 3 I have a good idea how this story is going to end already, and what characters will be involved. As for my other story, I know I haven't done anything on it for a long time, but that story is something I really want to get right, and I don't want to do anything until I have a clear plan of how the entire thing is going to go. That doesn't mean its discontinued, just on hiatus. As always, please review as it really does help me know what to do in the coming chapters and what you think, and the next chapter of this story should be coming out either late tonight or tomorrow evening, I do plan on releasing the first real chapter soon but i'm typing this up at school, hence why it's shorter than what I'd like.
Also, I don't own RWBY
